Entertainment for children
Beach vacations
In general, Marbella is suitable for a vacation with children - there are many sandy beaches with playgrounds and a gentle entrance to the water, and on the beach of Puerto Banus there is even a mini water park.
Aquapark
By the way, you can also go to a "full-size" water park Bahia Park in Alhaciras (about 45 minutes from Marbella). Perhaps the water park is the best solution for a vacation in Marbella with children, because the Atlantic Ocean has its disadvantages (it may happen that even at the height of the bathing season, in August, the sea will be cool because of the currents).
Safari Park
Another popular attraction for children in Marbella is the safari park Selwo Aventura in Estepona (about 20 minutes drive from Marbella). Elephants, antelopes, African cranes and ibises, lions and giraffes, zebras, hyenas and many other animals await you there. Tickets cost from 17 to 25 EUR, you can order them at the official website of the park, and find the directions there.
Where to stay with a child
As the most popular hotels in Marbella for vacation with children (prices - within 90-150 EUR) can be recommended Marriott's Marbella Beach Resort (there is a children's club and a large playground on the territory), Vincci Seleccion Estrella del Mar (provide babysitting services) or Don Carlos Leisure Resort & Spa (the restaurant menu has a special children's menu, there is a pool for children and a summer children's club on the territory).
